Theodore Roosevelt
A healthy state can exist only when the men and women who make it up lead clean, vigorous, healthy lives when the children are so trained that they shall endeavor, not to shirk difficulties, but to overcome them not to seek ease, but to know how to wrest triumph from toil and risk.
Theodore Roosevelt
The farther one gets into the wilderness, the greater is the attraction of its lonely freedom.
Theodore Roosevelt
There are many occasions when the highest praise one can receive is the attack of some given scoundrel.
Theodore Roosevelt
Our duty to the whole, including the unborn generations, bids us to restrain an unprincipled present-day minority from wasting the heritage of these unborn generations. The movement for the conservation of wildlife and the larger movement for the conservation of all our natural resources are essentially democratic in spirit, purpose, and method.
Theodore Roosevelt
There is apt to be a lunatic fringe among the votaries of any forward movement.
